BOTTLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 714,968, dated December2, 1902. Application filed Tune 16, 1902. Serial No. 111,969. (Nomodel.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that LWILLIAM A. SWANSON, a citizen of the United States,residing at Dunkirk, in the county of Chautauqua and State of New York,have invented anew and useful Bottle, of which the following is aspecification.

The invention relates to improvements in bottles.

The object of the present invention is to improve the construction ofbottles and to provide a simple and comparativelyinexpensive one adaptedto form a receptacle for several different kinds of liquids and capableof enabling any one of its liquid contents to be readily decanted.

The invention consists in the construction and novel combination andarrangement of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in theaccompanying drawings, and pointed out in the claims hereto appended.

In the drawings, Figure 1 isa vertical sectional view of a bottleconstructed in accordance with this invention. Fig. 2 is a plan view.Fig. 8 is a horizontal sectional view, the section being taken above thebottom 0 the upper compartment.

Like numerals of reference designate corre sponding parts in all thefigures of the drawlugs.

l designates an outer shell or body of a bottle provided with a bottom 2and having a neck 3, which is provided with three passages or openings4, 5, and 6, communicating with an upper compartment 7, an intermediatecompartment 8, and a lower compartment 9. The upper compartment 7consists of an inner shell, having side walls 10 conforming to theconfiguration of the upper portion of the body of the bottle and spacedfrom the same and having a circular horizontal bottom 11 of lessdiameterthan the bottom 2 of the body of the bottle; but the bottle may be ofany other configuration. The inner shell has a tapering upperportion,and it is connected with the neck of the bottle and with one ofthe side walls by upright flanges or webs 12, which extend downward fromthe perforation or passage 6 of the neck to a horizontal partition 13,which is of the same diameter as the body of the bottle and which isprovided between the webs or flanges 12 with an opening 14,communicating with the bottom receptacle or compartment 9 of the bottle.The webs or flanges 12 are connected at their upper portions by the bodyof the bottle and by the inner shell, and below the bottom 11 oftheinner shell the flanges are connected by an upright wall 15. By thisconstruction a tubular passage is formed which extends through the spaceoccupied by the intermediate compartment. The intermediate compartment,which occupies the space between the horizontal partition or diaphragm13 and the bottom of the upper shell, communicates with the passage 5,and these passages are adapted to receive separate stoppers. The severalcompartments are adapted to contain diflerent kinds of liquids, and theymay be separately decanted from the said compartments. Theuppershell,which forms the top compartment, may be connected with thebody of the bottle by webs or flanges, if desired, and the number of thevertical series of compartments may be varied.

It will be seen that the bottle is simple and comparatively inexpensivein construction, that the improvements are adapted to be applied tovarious kinds of receptacles having necks, and that they will enable areceptacle to contain several kinds of liquids and will permit thecontents of the several compartments to be separately decanted.

What I claim is- 1. A receptacle having a neck provided with a pluralityof passages, said receptacle being also provided with a vertical seriesof compartments communicating with the said passages, substantiallyasdescribed.

2. A receptacle having a neck provided with a plurality of passages, andhorizontal partitions arranged in the receptacle and forming a verticalseries of compartments, the latter communicating with the passages ofthe neck, substantially as described.

3. A receptacle having a neck provided wit-h a plurality of passages,said receptacle being provided with a plurality of compartmentscommunicating with the passages, the upper compartment consisting of aninner shell conforming to the configuration of the receptacle and spacedfrom the walls thereof, substantially as described.

4. A receptacle provided with a neck havinga plurality 0E passages, aninner'shell arto the neck of the receptacle and supporting ranged withinthe upper portion of the rethe inner shell, substantially as described.ceptacle and spaced from the walls thereof In testimony that I claim theforegoing as and communicating with one of the passages my own I havehereto affixed my signature in 5 01": the neck, a horizontal partitionlocated bethe presence of two Witnesses.
